In 1992, Tom Hill,
COO of Kimray, Inc. an oil and gas equipment controls company,
developed and piloted the CHARACTER FIRST!® program in his
organization. After only the second year, they were amazed to
see a substantial increase in morale, an 80% decrease in workers'
compensation, and a 25% increase in profits, even though the
market was depressed. Today, Kimray employees have more than
just a job; they are now representatives of a new way of doing
business. In 1997, the Character First! Education curriculum
was brought to life through the commitment and vision of public
school and police officials to address the real issues of today's
youth. CHARACTER FIRST!® Education, together with CHARACTER
FIRST!® Corporate and IACC are all under the direction of
the Character Training Institute. |
